Summary

There's less than one week to prepare for the start of the new FPL season and we still have a number of unanswered questions. Join Josh and Brandon as they discuss their final team selection dilemmas—which positions and players are locks and where will there be some last-minute GW1 deadline decisions? We also look at how recent transfers—like Grealish to Manchester City, Ings to Aston Villa, and Lukaku to Chelsea—impact our fantasy drafts and if we've pinpointed any assets flying under the radar. Thank you for joining Always Cheating during our pre-season coverage and we're wishing all of our listeners the best of luck for the 2021/22 campaign. Hail Cheaters!

0:00.0	Hey, cheers and welcome to the always cheating podcast. My name's Josh. I'm here with Brandon.
0:20.0	Brandon, how are you? Excitement rains, Josh. This is the last time we're going to talk with our listeners before that Game Week 1 deadline. So I want this to be fun, but also we need to be strictly business, Josh, because this is now when the true game week one is my team right.
0:38.8	Anxiety is peaking.
0:40.6	Yeah.
0:41.0	You're right.
0:41.3	We need to be especially fun, but especially business oriented.
0:45.7	Yeah.
0:46.3	Yeah.
0:46.4	We've got to hit especially strategic, but especially enjoyable.
0:49.8	It's like we're really, we're going to hit all of the notes on this week's pod.
0:52.9	The game kicks off on Friday. The Premier League kicks off with it. The championship already kicked off this weekend. I watched a little bit of championship. It was fun. I watched the, the West Brom, who did they play? Bournemouth. Bratham-Bormouth on Friday. And that is always a fun moment, the first championship match of the season because it's almost always a week before the season starts.
1:13.8	And you're not quite invested, but it's like it gets your brain back into watching matches again.
1:19.0	Definitely. So the EFL kicked off and then it was the charity shield on Saturday.
1:25.6	And it's like for the, you know, the FPL addicts that we are, it's like the perfect
1:31.4	level of methadone to put into our system to make our bodies like get us to that level
1:37.5	where when game week one actually kicks off where our bodies just don't suddenly explode.
1:41.9	Yeah, yeah, it's exactly.
1:43.6	This is how I feel in Game Week in 38,
1:45.6	because there's just no, you know,
1:46.8	the final game we get the season where there's just, there's no way to prepare yourself for 10 matches on all at the same time. Like there's just no, there's no mental space you can get into where that works. So you just, I spend those two hours like catatonic. You know, It's like I can barely hold a conversation.
1:41.5	There's just like so much happening at once.
1:43.4	And I threw my hat in the ring for the first time with gaffer.io, GAFFR.I.O. to play the EFL championship fantasy game. So just to get that out of the way, if any championship fans are out there, check that game out for another level of fantasy.
